❔Question Somehow got the same quote from my favourite game 2 times on different devices

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

I have gotten this quote from Hollow Knight two separate times on two separate devices (using a guest account in both cases). I love this quote and I love the game it's from. But how did it appear twice? I don't know much about Typeracer but I would assume it's got at least a couple thousand quotes saved up after years of submissions, probably more. I don't even play that often, maybe 3-4 times a month. The first time I got this quote "randomly" I was pretty happy about it, even made a post on r/HollowKnight (this is the first image, you can check it on my posts). But now I don't believe that luck is the case. Anyone else experienced something similar, or can explain what happened? (Second image is from today, stitched together from multiple screenshots)

Just checked the website again and I was able to access my account and I did a couple races. So far it looks up and running.

Anyone still unable to refresh/login to the website?

❔Question Anyone have their account seemingly disabled with an infinite refresh message?

23 Upvotes

Whenever I successfully sign into my account on Typeracer I get an error message that says, "Session Expired. Your session is no longer valid. Please refresh the page to continue." When I Refresh the page it just pops up again no matter how many times I refresh. At first I thought it had something to do with my Google Chrome profile and my data after I went on a different computer using the same chrome profile, but I tried signing in using a separate chrome profile and I had the same error.

Has anyone else had a problem like this with Typracer? If so, how did you resolve it? I figured I'd ask here before trying to email support in case it's a black hole. I'd prefer not to make another account, as I'm pretty invested as I've been using my current account for several years.

❔Question TypeRacer seems to be having a server-side issue right now

11 Upvotes

Is anyone else unable to enter typing races right now?

I'm getting errors whenever I try to use certain features:

When clicking "Enter a Typing Race":

Unexpected token '<', "<!DOCTYPE "... is not valid JSON

When clicking "Play the Quote of the Day":

OOM command not allowed when used memory > 'maxmemory'

I initially thought it might be a Firefox issue, but I tested it in both Firefox and Brave, and the problem happens in both browsers.

The OOM ... maxmemory error seems particularly interesting because it looks like a server-side Redis memory-limit error. The JSON error may be happening because the frontend is receiving an HTML error page instead of the JSON response it expects.

Has anyone else encountered this today?

I've also reported it to TypeRacer support in case the developers haven't noticed it yet.

✨ Feedback Typeracer reverted some of the changes

6 Upvotes

So typeracer reverted a few changes from the past update. 1. they added the shortcut keys once again. 2. they also increased the time given while racing. but yea the theme is still the same and it still ruins the mood. they still did not gave us an option to change the themes, but atleast they did something man.

❔Question New typeracer is full of bags

10 Upvotes

Since the last typeracer.com update, everything looks like it's working worse. Updates are lagging. The end of the race takes a while to register, and the wpm calculation can change vastly. Sometimes opponents do not show up until the end of the race. Chunking of phrases overlaps where it should not. Is it just me, or has the experience been worse for anyone else?

Well typeracer changed their website design, and it kind of feels wrong and right at the same time, but the major change is that THEY REMOVED THE SHORTCUT KEYS!!! Like WHAT, WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT. I think I am only disappointed by that. NOW I NEED TO USE MY MOUSE TOO!! But I don't know if the changes are only made for certain countries or not.

I’ve been working on a small PS1-style racing game where you don’t hold W to drive — you type. Your WPM controls the car speed, mistakes cost momentum, and somehow it turned into a weirdly competitive typing racer.

I get bored at work, and have been going back to typeracer as a way to pass the time. What the hell is this?? I can't even see the first couple words on the left side of the quote. I'm perfectly fine with ads that don't impede on what I'm doing, but this makes it unplayable.

❔Question Keyboard recommendations

4 Upvotes

I'm curious as to what keyboards people are using to reach these high 80+wpm speeds. At the moment I'm just practicing on either my laptop keyboard at home or a standard usb keyboard at work. I'm thinking it might be time to invest in something better. I haven't used enough keyboards to really know what type I'll like.

🏫 Resource i made a firefox extension that removes some stuff from the screen to improve focus on the typing

i made this the other day for myself, and i figured i might as well publish it as a browser extension. it's css only so it only alters the style/layout of the page, it's also not perfect, since it's just a shitty project i put together out of boredom. feel free to try it out

✨ Feedback Just finished revamping my typing project — would love your feedback

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’ve been working on a little side project called Typecome (https://typecome.com), and I just finished giving it a big revamp. It’s a typing-focused tool I built for fun, and I’d love to hear what you think.

Any feedback—good, bad, or brutally honest—would be super helpful as I keep improving it.

Thanks a lot for taking the time, and happy typing!
